Letter to a friend!

I sit here lost in a land of computers, huge buildings, tons of people, I find myself alone even in such crowd (or should I say people?!?). I come from a land which had small buildings, less people; But, we were all a family, we cared for each other; atleast we did not lock ourselves up in our houses when our neighbour was ill. Coming from such place to a place which doesn`t give a sh!t is scaring, rather disgusting. I don`t blame them, one should never be spoonfeeded to be selfish, that leaves us only with such kind of society!

I had friends back in home, school, college and after that, true we did not have expensive clothes and money to spend; but something kept us together and happy; Here I am finding myself among people who assume you are a fool, if you are nice and you are bothersome, if you ask for things you want!

I am surrounded by very little number of friends in a place which has abundant of fake smiles, backstabbers, opportunist and people who want your company only as long as you have something in return for them. I believe life is not a barter of things, even if you barter only thing given and received should be love. I am still in a state of shock, they give you everything except that in barter here. It is as if I am living in a world made out of plastic!

I still hear my Mom`s voice echoing, "World has only two types of people: Good and Bad". But, she did not tell me about this category, I am not sure even if they are one; They are both good and bad, good if they want something from you and bad if you have nothing in return to you!

I don`t want to sound all dark and pessimistic about this place. Life is wonderful, I am writing this letter in the hope that you don`t get it ruined falling in the wrong hands, for the one who is a friend always finds a reason to be with you and the one who isn`t will find a reason to not be with you!

The one who talks to you, cracks jokes in office with you are your colleagues.. the one who cracks jokes at you, tells you "you look ugly", steals your lunch, gives hi5 when you fail and doesn`t say they are busy to you is a FRIEND..!

And lastly, Remember not to judge a book by its cover!

I hope you don`t need to look at my email id to recognize who is writing this!
